Hi CLM770, thanks for joining the Community!

Shared links are a one-way, read-only link for viewing and downloading files.

However, you can create a file request link for users to upload files onto your account, without other users seeing the files in that folder.

I'd recommend bearing in mind the daily bandwidth limit on your account, which could result in the links being banned.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
